If you are a somewhat experienced (or very experienced) preserve maker, you may want to skip this discussion. If you do, be reminded that there has recently been a good deal of rethinking about processing times for foods that are sealed in a water bath (we don’t go into pressure canning here), so be sure that you follow the times given in the recipes, even though you may be tempted to follow your past practices.
